Chapter 2468 Why are you looking at me?
Shen Lianxiang frowned as soon as she saw it.
The person who walked in from outside was actually the talented Xin Mimi!
The concubines standing around were also shocked. Only then did everyone realize that even though such a big event happened today, this Concubine Xin had not shown up.
However, she was never favored and her rank was not high, so no one paid much attention to her.
But unexpectedly, at this time, the imperial concubine brought her out.
As soon as she saw her appear, Shen Lianxiang's brows knitted together.
Even if Xiang couldn't find any problems, if the Imperial Concubine really asked about what she had said to Xin Mimi, then -
Could it be that the imperial concubine was really coming for him?
Or, did she already know something?
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
The person who was most frightened at this moment was the talented Xin Mimi, who was inexplicably brought to the imperial study.
Ever since Kang Biyun's death, she felt relieved of her "biggest worry", but for some reason, these days, the words Kang Biyun said before her death and the desperate look in her eyes appeared in her dreams again and again.
Even after she died by hitting the pillar, the strong smell of blood that permeated Yangxingzhai kept appearing in Xin Mimi's dreams.
She was almost driven crazy by this hallucination.
So these days, she almost never went out. Even today, when all the concubines in the harem came to Yonghe Palace to pay their respects to the imperial concubine, she still pretended to be sick.
But somehow, a few people came and invited her over.
As soon as she entered the imperial study, she saw the emperor and the imperial concubine with cold faces, as well as the concubines around them with different expressions, which made her very uneasy. Especially when she saw Ruying was still there, she felt like she was struck by lightning.
She knelt down tremblingly: "Concubine, concubine pays homage to the emperor, to the imperial concubine."
Nan Yan looked at her calmly and said, "Ms. Xin, do you know why I asked you to come here today?"
Xin Mimi shook her head: "I, I don't know."
"I heard you've been sick recently?"
"……yes."
"You were fine, so why did you become ill? Could it be that your good sister said something before she died that left you with a deep sorrow?"
"I, I—"
Xin Mimi already had something to hide, and after hearing what the imperial concubine said, she was even more speechless.
Nan Yan smiled coldly and said, "Let's talk about Concubine Kang later. I'm going to ask you to identify something now. Remember, think it over before you speak, and tell the truth."
“…”
"This isn't the harem where I can just ask you questions. This is the Imperial Study. If you tell even one falsehood, you're deceiving the Emperor, and your entire clan will be executed!"
When Xin Mimi heard this, her whole body trembled.
Nan Yan had already said to Wang Baizhi, "Doctor Wang, please light that piece of remaining incense."
“…”
"Xin Cairen and Kang Jieyu were good sisters and were very close. If this fragrance was really used by Kang Jieyu before her death, Xin Cairen should have smelled it."
"yes."
Wang Baizhi picked up the half piece of remaining incense and lit it carefully.
Immediately, a wisp of green smoke rose up and floated in the air, and a fragrance suddenly filled the air.
As soon as she smelled the scent, Xin Mimi's face changed immediately.
She opened her eyes wide in surprise and turned her head away.
But he looked at Chen Lianxiang.
Seeing her looking at her, Chen Lianxiang broke out in a cold sweat and said in a deep voice: "You, what are you looking at me for?!"
